Mermaid Café





Mermaid Café is Savannah’s Substack newsletter, released biweekly. 

“For the past several years, my DMs have been deluged with panicked requests, from how to get a good deal on a pair of custom cowboy boots to how to dress for your adult conversion to Catholicism. Of course, I always answer.

In the process of doing that answering — and growing HALOSCOPE — I’ve built a community of fashion acolytes, jewelry hoarders, devoted slowmaxxers, yes-I-make-my-own-soap-why-do-you-ask-ers, and so on. I’ve always felt like there’s a dearth of spaces online to talk about fashion&living in an emotionally instructive, free-spirited, “”bohemian”” (sorry) way that does away with pollarded convention. This is that place. 

I want people to see clothes the way I see them and bear witness to their instruction. I want to write thoughtfully about fashion’s blithe emotional power, from crying in the dressing room to how a good pair of jeans can be a metaphysical experience. Most of all, though, I want to explore all of this with you — essays, shopping guides, recommendations, Q+A’s, podcast eps, and more.”
